I love the new spin we got this week, why we didn't get the GPD raise it's a classic. For all the center's at bottom gpd the new spin is coming your way be prepared to
inform us driver, some terminals are months behind on getting information
Now they are playing the economy card in my state even though it really has little effect on us so far. Kind of funny when the Stock market crashed in 08 and freight dropped every where it never dropped here we were slammed. Kind of pathetic to use our states mis fortune because of our presidents policies that have hurt the mining industry. It's sad they will stoop to any level to make these pathetic excesses.
Unlike our country, FXF is an organization that practices accountbility in finance.....i.e.less in, less out.....if you feel that is a pathetic excuse, so be it....but I feel it is irresponsible to put an organization in such a bad position to be "bailed" out by either a broke government or banks that will bleed it out.....in the end it benefits no one within the organization...
I have to hope that under the effort to make "FedEx Freight the employer of choice" (M. Ducker's words), that we will eventually be, at least among the top compensated in every market. Not just certain markets...Yeah we are in such bad shape I don't know how we keep the doors open. Did I not say it has not affected our terminal. Don't give me a speech about accountability we charge the same rates country wide so even though we get paid less our customers pay the same as everyone else. Their rates go up every year and fuel is cheap but we still charge that sur charge. We just had the stock buy back program how much did that cost? It's time for the company to be accountable to their employees for once.

Still, as time goes by with no new announcements, we must presume things are right where they should be, right?
That will never happen it's another way to save a buck and rip of their hard working drivers.
There are powers that be that seem to prefer the use of turnover data to justify the flaws in the system, rather than competitive wage data.I doubt very seriously they will ever fix this issue. What do you think swamp will they will fix it? Be nice if they went with 2 pay scales like od that would be fair not 4 or however many we have.
We need to be persistent, from our end, and never give up. Luck alone is not going to cut it, without effort.
Oh, I understand. I think we all know why there was incentive, last year, for the Company to move quickly in addressing the GPD at 56 locations. It was in their best interest to do so. Now, unless and until someone is carrying that kind of incentive around in their back pocket, and willing to play that/those card(s), we need to use the tools we have, not the tools we wish we had... As far as I'm concerned, the result is more important than the method.That's called a union swamp ratt
Is the wage you show on here, is that an average pay for us? Because I make $27.33 an hour in my paycheck.Restated with additional info:
XPO/Conway announced raises, effective April.
It looks like another 50 cents/hr and 1 cent/mile for most regions, including mine. 25.41, going to $25.91 vs FedEx Freight at $24.58.
Worth noting, those at the correct GPD (CLT, HKY etc.), at $25.98, will remain competitive with XPO/Conway's $25.91.
Guess we should update the list. Feel free to add additional carriers and known wage/location to the list.
UPS Freight: $27.65
Conway: $25.91
Old Dominion: $25.85
FedEx Freight: $24.58
*Worth adding, in fairness, XPO/Conway does have a lower rate as some rural southern locations. That absolute lowest rate, not relevant to the above comparison, as of April: $25.27/hour and .596/mile

Oh ok. I guess the terminals that make the top, live in the high cost of living areas. Atleaast you would think they would.No its the bottom pay scale. The scale your at is the top and only a few terminals make the top scale.
